New speed cameras to target mobile phone offenders

Yet serious violent criminals get away with offences because the CCTV footage is so poor.  Fucking disgusting.

When your child or relative gets killed or or seriously injured by one of these muppets you may think twice about your comments!

must be nice to be a north wales police man ...

to know the country thinks your lower than the criminals you should be trying to catch

i think they should all be done for wasting police time ...i mean going back through old footage youve got to look for easy nicks is hardly pro-active policing is it?

to put it in their local lingo....

Rich, if a road accident happens, it happens and the parties are generally all present.

 If violent crime happens, the guilty party disappears.

The difference is that revenue can be collected from road users but a knife-wielding criminal will only cost the government money. 

I am well aware of the arguments you make, but they just don't make sense in the real world.  Unfortunately, i have had friends who have been attacked and grievously injured in street brawls.  The CCTV evidence has been too shoddy to be admissible in court and the aggravators have been let free.  However, i have never known anyone who's been in a road traffic collision and not had the other party stop and identify themselves.

So, where do you think the priority lies? I'd say it's pretty obvious and i'd think twice about your comments..

It seems they could nab you if they really wanted to

 And yes, the driver should have been banned for a year for that mullet

what about picking your nose, most car drivers I see with one hand on the wheel have the other up their nose?

I've given up counting the number of times I've nearly been knocked off my bike by some dozy twat driving a car whilst talking on a mobile here in London. Bring it in here too please (and why are at least 50% of offenders women driving around in Chelsea tractors?).
